I. THE REALITY OF THE INCARNATION, (He came) : “The doctrine of the Incarnation means that two distinct natures (divine and human) are united in one person: Jesus. Jesus is not two people (God and man). He is one person: the God-man. Thus we might envision Jesus saying: “I am now what I always was: God (or Word), I am now what I once was not: man (or flesh), I am now and forever will be both: the God-man.””
